VOLUNTEER PROGRAMS ARE WIN-WIN SITUATIONS...

fulfilling the organization's need for assistance, an individual's need for help, and the volunteer's need for satisfaction in helping others. To enjoy a successful volunteer experience, look for a good match of personalities with interests and expertise.

With some agencies, training is required for maximum use of an individual's positive traits. Large agencies provide a variety of tasks for the volunteer; smaller agencies offer the advantage of a more personal touch.

Are you an individual who is warm, caring and receives satisfaction from helping others?

*

Do you like to help children, the elderly, donate clerical, organizational skills?

*

Do you possess a talent that you are willing to share?

If your answer is "yes," review the list of agencies' volunteer needs, check an individual website that interests you, or give the contact person a call to learn more about enjoying a meaningful experience while making a difference in your community.
